Ring Alarm Sensors for Automation
Hi All,I'm interested in buying the Ring alarm. I currently have a ring doorbell and I would like to add additional external cameras, internal cameras and the alarm to secure my home inside and out. I currently have a number of smart home proucts such as a smartthings hub, philips hue, a number of echo devices and I use Alexa as my voice assitant. Can I use the ring alarm and ring alarm assesories such as motion sensor, the door and window sensors as part of my smart home outwith the ring alarm uses? For instance, can I use the motion sensor to activate lights or use the door sensor to trigger a routine? The ring alarm would be a welcome addition to my set up although I don't want to have multiple sensors in rooms and on doors and windows. Ring is owned by Amazon so I assumed that this would be an available feature. However I cant find any information on this. Also any information on compatible smart home fire and co detectors that work with the ring alarm in the UK would be useful at this stage. Thanks, Bell

_For instance, can I use the motion sensor to activate lights or use the door sensor to trigger a routine?_Yes it works with 3rd party devices in Alexa. I am currently using that feature with LEPro lights, as in if Ring Camera detects motion at night turn this light on, etc. Can easily setup routines as long as all devices are compatible with Alexa.

Ring doesn't have this feature yet. But I use a 3rd party app called simplecommands. It lets me set routines and triggers with the door sensors and motion detectors.
